La mujer de paja (1964)
Charles Ritchmon, un magnate inglés de las finanzas que lleva años inmovilizado en una silla de ruedas, contrae matrimonio con su enfermera María. La boda la han tramado la propia Maria y Anthony, un sobrino del millonario: si Ritchmon sufre una nueva crisis cardíaca, María heredará una colosal fortuna, y su cómplice recibirá un millón de libras. Durante un crucero por el Mediterráneo, Charles fallece. Para legitimar el testamento, María y Anthony simulan que el magnate sigue vivo hasta su llegada a Londres; pero, inesperadamente, la policía entra en juego.
